"TllE BlTER GETS BITTEN"
Every few weeks we hear of some
new decision in the courts here and
there in the Bohemian oats dicker, and
we believe that we might truthfully
claim that we have about as many diff
ferent decisions MS we have Judges be-
fore whom these cases have been tried
On the first of this month one of these
cases was tried in the Wood County
Common Pleas. occupying several days.
